I think you get confused by something. This single line of 
import has nothing to do with a component architecture.

It's just a bad and can make real troubles if this module
get used because you have that installed too.

It has nothing to do with that's our code and we don't like 
to have that included in this package. It just doesn't work
in with any python setup. And it will exactly hurt the people
which use both libs on their systems.

Why not offer a compatibility package and apply different 
things with monky patches if packages are available.
This would also avoid to duplicate packages for Five and 
then you use virtual env or something which separates the setup.
